Żebbuġ (Maltese: Iż-Żebbuġ) is a small village overlooking the northwest coast of the island of Gozo in Malta. It is located close to Għarb and Għasri and is built on two hilltop plateaus, Ta' Abram and Ix-Xagħra taż-Żebbuġ. The fishing port and tourist resort of Marsalforn lies within the Żebbuġ Council.
The word Żebbuġ means "olive trees", a crop for which the village used to be noted, although nowadays very few olive trees remain on the slopes of Żebbuġ.
"Onyx marble" (actually not a marble but a travertine cave deposit) used in lapidary work in Zebbug church was mined locally (unlike the imported "onyx" used in other Gozo island churches). Glauconite is found in the Ghajn Melel Member of the Miocene Upper Coralline Limestone Formation.
